------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Nov 30 03:45:50 -0800 2006 ------- i.e. the attached font lohit hindi contains glyphs for #, $, %, &, *, + /, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 but if you type this into OOo and select that font to display them, then you'll either get [] or some other font will be chosen to fallback to. The problem is that our test to find the glyph index cannot find the above glyphs, but fontconfig is able to do this, i.e. the same chars in gedit will appear in Lohit Hindi. A "demo" patch is attached to fallback to fontconfig's glyphindex finder which would allow OOo to display the characters. I suspect that it's the magic code in fontconfig to look up the name of the character in the postscript table which allows fontconfig to do this. But as the fontconfig FcFreeTypeCharIndex is apparently compatible with what we need, would an alternative patch to on UNX (ugly) dlopen fontconfig and give calling FcFreeTypeCharIndex a go on failure be desirable ? Feel free to drop patch from this and either a) send back to me if the dlopen approach would be worthwhile implementing here b) hold onto it to investigate improving finding the glyph some other way c) throw out and say "stinky font" --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
